The Embryology Unit focuses on the human body, mainly the reproductive organs and cells. It also focuses on Meiosis, cell division between gametes; and the unit also focuses on the embryo, and the stages and processes it will go through during pregnancy.The Embryology Unit goals is to teach us what goes on in the reproductive organs. Also, the Embryology Unit trys to teach us how are cells grow and divide, and how the baby grows and develops inside the womens body.
